After getting out of the Lu family's car, the first thing I could think of was to call Master Cao.

Although theoretically I inherited the mantle of Master Lu, in fact, it was Master Cao who gave me more guidance and help all along.

I spent the most time with him of all the monks I knew, and the word "master" might be more appropriate for me.

Of course, the person I think of asking for help after something happens is often him.

But this time, the call was not answered for a long time.

After about seven or eight rings, a female voice appeared on the other side of the phone: "Hey? ”

"I'm sorry, is it Mr. Cao Daoping's phone?" I asked, a little confused.

"Are you Sun Yang?" The other party asked rhetorically.

"You are?"

"My name is Cao Fang, and I am Cao Daoping's daughter."

Her voice sounded a little older than mine, and just when I didn't know how to continue, she continued, "Well, I have something to tell you. Wait a minute, I'll call you on a different number. ”

The phone hung up, and after two or three minutes, an unfamiliar mobile phone number called.

"Hello?"

"I'm Cao Fang." Her voice sounded cold, and it made me a little stunned.

"What are you looking for my father?"

I don't know if she knows about Master Cao's things, maybe Master Cao didn't tell her family what she was really engaged in?

While she was hesitating, she continued, "Do you know what day it is?" ”

This question made me froze, there is no beginning and no end, how can I possibly know what is special today?

"Today is my father's 60th birthday." She said coldly.

"Huh? I'm sorry I don't know...... "This surprised me extremely much, Master Cao never mentioned his own age, to be honest, I always thought he was only in his forties, and it should not be more than fifty.

He's sixty?!

"Of course you don't." Cao Fang's attitude suddenly became bad. "You don't know anything! I know very well why you called him, nothing more than what kind of problem you encountered, or what danger you had! ”

I don't know where she suddenly got so much resentment, but I can't interject.

"I don't know what you think, but don't you think it's too much to bother an old man with these things anytime and anywhere?"

I didn't know what to say, Master Cao told me to call him at any time if I had any questions, and I did the same.

For me, he is someone I can fully trust, so if I encounter any bottlenecks in my cultivation, I will always call him right away. In the face of Cao Fang's criticism, I realized that I had indeed gone a little too far.

"He started to fade out of these things a few years ago." Cao Fang continued. "He's been doing those things almost all his life, and since you're doing this, you should know what that means."

"I used to hate him, you know? For he never fulfilled any of his father's duties other than money. I theoretically have a father, but not even the children whose parents are divorced. I grew up living like I didn't have a father, and it wasn't until my mother died a few years ago that he actually stayed at home for a few months for the first time. Cao Fang's voice continued, but I didn't feel cold anymore. But after the birth of my daughter, he finally repented, and he finally understood that this world is not only about things that never end, never see end, and can give his life anytime and anywhere, but also more important family and affection. So he started to gradually withdraw from these things, and in the last two years, he has hardly done those things again. ”

"I'm sorry, I ......"

"Of course you should feel sorry." Cao Fang interrupted me. "I know he almost died last time, and even if he owes you a favor, he should pay it off now, right? How long will you pester him? He's already an old man, so why can't you just let him stop and let him spend his last days with his family? ”

"I'm not ......"

"Please don't call again." Cao Fang said. "Please, let him forget those things and live a few years of peace, is that okay?"

"Yes." I was aggrieved and uncomfortable, but I didn't have any reason to blame her. "I'm sorry, I'll never call him again."

"I'm sorry." Cao Fang's attitude finally improved a little. "Maybe my words are too heavy, but please try to understand why I say this."

"I totally understand." I said to her. "Sorry to call...... Please ...... for me Forget it, you don't have to say anything for me. ”

I hung up the phone in a low mood, and suddenly felt a little panicked and a little dazed.

Without his guidance, what would I have done next?

The phone rang again suddenly, and it was Master Cao calling.

"Sun Yang? You just called me? ”

"Yes, Master Cao." I tried my best to hide the excitement in my heart.

"What's the matter?" He asked.

On the other side of the phone, there was a giggling voice of a little girl, and Master Cao may be holding her in his arms at this moment.

For an old man, what is more important and happier than this?

"I heard that today is your birthday, so I specially said happy birthday to you."

"You kid, how do you know that?" Master Cao's voice sounded a little surprised, but it was also very happy.

"You don't care about it, happy birthday, take care of yourself!" I said to him.

"So are you." Master Cao said on the phone. "If there's anything, feel free to call me."

"I will." I whispered. "You're busy, aren't you? Then I won't bother you. ”

Hanging up the phone, I sent a message to Lu Xiaoling, asking her to also call over to send birthday wishes, but I didn't mention Cao Fang's matter.

Lu Xiaoling's personality is inherently very independent, as far as I know, she has never felt that there is nothing she can't solve, and she has never casually asked Master Cao for help.

From beginning to end, I was the one who called him whenever something happened.

"Hah! I almost forgot, thanks to you for reminding me! Thanks! Lu Xiaoling's text message quickly replied.

She's always so alive that she suddenly makes me feel ashamed.

I am a manly man, is it not as good as a heartless girl like Lu Xiaoling when I encounter things?

I'm a genius who entered the Tao faster than her, and I was so angry faster!

I adjusted my mindset and dialed the phone again.

"Hello? I'm Ma Bin. ”

"Sun Yang." I'll be brief. "You kid, got me a hot potato!"

"You said the Lu family?" He was a little surprised. "Won't it?"

"It's a bit complicated, and I need your help." I said to him. "When are you free? Come out and talk? ”

"Damn!" Ma Bin said, but he didn't sound unhappy, but a little excited. "Where are you? I'm coming to you now! ”
